Fantasy 28mm Sorcerer Lord and Cavalry packs released!

The last of the Fell Lord (FL series) are now re-released! Following up on the end of last month when we put out the Men at Arms and Peasants we have the final codes now on the website meaning all twenty three packs are on the website. These classic miniatures are being used in tabletop wargames and roleplay plus dungeon crawl all over the world. A special thanks to the talented Jimboba he of Warchest Blog fame for painting up FL20 which you can see here. Check out his blog for more of his work. With the FL series complete these are all of our High Fantasy releases for the month. We will return in May with the start of the new series.

“The paths of magic run deep and far and not all of them run towards the light. Some paths branch off and lead the new devotee of the arcane arts towards darkness. For some this is little more then petty tyranny over their neighbours but for a few it creates a life devoted to the spreading of death and dominion on a grander scale. Perhaps once this sorcerer was good. Perhaps once he had a mother and the smell of fresh flowers. Now he is a twisted creature of evil whose spells and summonings have attracted an army of the Undead and their ghoulish evil fellows. Few will try to stand in his way.”

FL20 Sorcerer Lord

This code contains three different 28mm scale white metal miniatures. A great character for your Evil or Undead forces. Great quality, choice and value. These miniatures are not supplied with bases and are supplied unpainted. Select your choice from the drop down product menu. Choose from a pack, three packs with a 10% saving applied and single miniatures. Total choice! Assembly is required with some white metal miniatures. Go HERE. Poses in this code are as follows:

FL20-01: Sorcerer Lord on foot with separate staff.

FL20-02: Mounted Sorcerer Lord with rearing Horse and separate staff.

“Horse Warriors of the northern passes and defenders of the great plain beyond it is to the Riders of Eorl that the defence against invaders from the mountains falls. In return for being a petty kingdom apart from our rulers and except from our taxes they scatter the Orcs and Unmen who sally forth against the softer cities of Men in the south. It is well known that the Riders of Eorl have little love for the lancers and knights of Dresda considering them coddled and befuddled by the promises of coin and sultry ladies. Instead they keep to the wilder lands and decorate their hearths with the skulls of vanquished enemies.”

FL17 Riders of Eorl

This code contains two different 28mm white metal mounted miniatures each supplied with a random pose of Eorl horse. Great quality, choice and value. These miniatures are not supplied with bases and are supplied unpainted. Select your choice from the drop down product menu. Choose from a pack, three packs with a 10% saving applied and single miniatures. Total choice! Assembly is required with some white metal miniatures. Go HERE. Poses in this code are as follows:

FL18-02: Armoured Rider holding Banner with Horse.

“Some think that those who escape the employ of our Lord in the stinking streets of Dresda by becoming his raised Men at Arms on horseback think they are lucky. It is true they get out of the mud and spare their feet from the march. But then they must pay for their saddlery and keep their beast well fed and watered which leaves little coin for other matters. That I could abide with but not the other things the demi lancers must do. When garrisons are needed far off in places where Orcs drink from the severed heads of our soldiers it is the lancers who are sent. True the nobles are also mounted and they also could go..but then they always seem to be absent when duty calls.”

FL21-02: Man at Arms, separate Lance, arm level; with Horse.
